This might be one of the funniest videos I've ever seen. While the Cavs were on another network, the anchors were wrapping up their nightly newscast. As you can see, they've thrown in the towel.

Watch to the very end. LOL

[Daisyjane69]

We have one sports anchor who almost knocked over the female news anchor and one meterologist who completely disappears from the set!!!!

[FlyVet]

Oh, no. That went outside the sterile, empty, robotic, scripted boundary that is to be expected from local news casters.

There will be hell to pay for this. They will all be fired.

[Daisyjane69]

Yeah, but if they are, they have options.

That video was played on ESPN SportsCenter tonight. LOL

Now they’re famous!!!!

:)

[Yossarian]

There will be hell to pay for this. They will all be fired.

Soon to be replaced by this crew:

Who or what are the "Cavs?"

Does this have something to do with baseball, soccer, or what? What is the significance of the newscasters' emotional response at the end of the clip? What does it matter that they seemed so elated?

Sorry, but without the proper context, I can't make head nor tails of this posting.

It’s a historical thing. Longsufferingfans and all that.

That’s why the anchors acted the way they did. It’s called SHOCK. lol

Typical Cleveland. As the famous Lombardi quote goes, “Act like you've been there before”.........Oh yeah I forgot.....you haven't.

Also I remember once during the middle of a game and the fans at a Bengals game were getting out of hand Sam Wyeche came out on the field and scolded the fans to not be like the fans in Cleveland.

(only kidding you)

[Daisyjane69]

Well we can’t act like that, because our teams find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Always. LOL

Ah yes, the lovely Sam Wyche. hehehe We always got a kick out of getting a lecture on “couth” from a city that has as it’s signature “sculpture” (art).....pigs. Millions of them. Everywhere! LOL

I haven't been a fan of professional basketball for many years, but I have enjoyed watching the Cavs. I hope they get to the finals, even if they're from....the mistake on the lake.

[Right Wing Assault]

the mistake on the lake

Detroit took that award away years ago.

[MAD-AS-HELL]

I can understand the excitement since people in Cleveland don’t have much to cheer about when it comes to sports.

[Loyal Buckeye]

That is nothing compared to the night The Chosen One won.

[Northern Yankee]

That was hilarious.

Refreshing to see such exuberance!

[autumnraine]

That was AWESOME! I don’t know what they are talking about, but I got excited for them!

[autumnraine]

If you listen to the beginning of the clip, the Cavs (whatever they are and whatever they play) were down with ONE SECOND left, so they wrote off the loss.

Then, somehow with one second, they miracously won.

So they were freaking out.

Hilarious!
